Advertise with Stars and Stripes
Reach the U.S. military community with greater clarity and confidence.
Work directly with Kandace Blevin to identify practical
advertising opportunities for reaching military audiences
in Europe and worldwide.
Campaigns can be shaped around your audience, geography,
objectives, timing and available budget.
Who I Help
Advertising guidance built around your actual market.
I work with businesses, universities, healthcare providers,
financial institutions, hospitality companies, military-support
organizations and other advertisers seeking to reach the U.S.
military community.
Whether your organization serves one installation, several
European markets or a worldwide audience, I can help you
identify opportunities aligned with your goals, geography,
timing and budget.

Reach Military Communities at Arrival
Welcome Guides connect advertisers with newly arriving military families.
Stars and Stripes Welcome Guides help service members and their
families navigate new duty stations throughout Europe. They
connect advertisers with readers actively looking for local
services, healthcare, education, dining, shopping, travel and
other practical resources.
The publications below represent a selection of the available
regional guides. Additional seasonal, regional and worldwide
publications serve specific military audiences and interests.
Markets and Geographic Reach
Campaigns can be developed for local, regional or worldwide audiences.
Advertising can be planned around a particular installation or
military community, several regional markets or a broader
worldwide audience.
Military Advertising Planning Tools
Explore the strategy and budget before building the campaign.
These free planning tools provide a practical starting point
for organizations considering advertising to U.S. military
audiences. Use them to compare possible channels, evaluate
military market areas and estimate an appropriate programmatic
advertising budget.
The results provide planning guidance rather than formal
proposals. Exact recommendations depend on your audience,
geography, objectives, timing, available inventory and budget.
How I Work with Advertisers
Recommendations begin with your audience and objectives.
Every advertiser has different priorities. Before recommending
a campaign, I take the time to understand whom you need to reach,
where they are located, what action you want them to take and
what level of investment is realistic.
01
Define the Audience
We begin with the people, communities and geographic markets
your organization needs to reach.
02
Clarify the Objective
We identify the action or outcome the campaign should support,
along with timing and practical budget considerations.
03
Evaluate the Options
I help you compare relevant print, digital, programmatic,
promotional and community-based opportunities.
My role is not simply to provide a rate card. It is to help you
select opportunities that make sense for your audience and
business goals.
Let’s Discuss Your Advertising Goals
Start with a practical conversation about whom you need to reach.
If your organization would like to reach members of the U.S.
military community, I would be happy to discuss your objectives
and help you evaluate the available Stars and Stripes
advertising opportunities.
There is no obligation and no one-size-fits-all package. We can
begin with your audience, market, timeline and budget, then
determine whether Stars and Stripes is the right fit.
